SAN ANTONIO — Two people jailed on capital murder charges in the death of a San Antonio police officer's son have confessed to a second, unrelated killing, authorities confirmed Friday afternoon.

Cameo Marcus Clines and Antoinette Martinez, both 19, confessed Friday to the slaying of Steven Rendon, a Harlandale grad found dead in a south Bexar County cornfield June 30.

The pair were already in jail awaiting trail for the killing of Xavier Joseph Cordero, 20, who was allegedly lured to Martinez's house with the promise of sex in mid-June. When he arrived, he was allegedly robbed, then driven to a secluded area near Braunig Lake where he was shot multiple times. His body was found hours later.

Both face charges of capital murder, in addition to burglary and theft charges.
